The new International trailer and UK poster (which is pretty much the same as the Us one with a different colour background) for Amy Adams’ new movie, Leap Year has just been released by Optimum Releasing. Leap Year is directed by Anand Tucker and also stars Matthew Goode and John Lithgow. I’ve put the new trailer below the synopsis and you can click the image above to enlarge. Leap Year is released 26th February.
Amy Adams (Sunshine Cleaning, Doubt, Enchanted) is a young woman who has an elaborate scheme to propose to her boyfriend on Leap Day, an Irish tradition which occurs every time the date February 29 rolls around. However she faces a major setback when bad weather threatens to derail her planned trip to Dublin. With the help of an innkeeper, however, her cross-country odyssey just might result in her getting engaged.

A list, entitled ‘The Black List', put together by Hollywood executive Franklin Leonard based on a survey of over 300 Hollywood insiders, has named The Muppet Man by Australian Christopher Weekes at the top of its must-read list.
The news about The Muppet Man, which is being produced by The Jim Henson Company (Good? Bad? You decide!) , comes on the heels of Weekes being hired to rewrite another Hollywood film, Waterproof, for director Kevin Lima (Enchanted), about a man releasing mythological creatures into the world. Didn't we read about that in Dumb Ideas Department?? But seriously.

Universal Is Sweet On "Candy Land"

»
Universal Pictures continues developing "Candy Land", from a screenplay by writer Etan "Tropic Thunder" Cohen for director Kevin "Enchanted" Lima, adapting the Hasbro board game. Hasbro CEO Brian Goldner will produce with executive producer Christopher Chase.
The original "Candy Land" game, designed in the 1940's by Eleanor Abbott, was purchased by the Milton Bradley Company (now owned by Hasbro).
Hasbro continues to produce several versions of the brand, marketing "Candy Land" puzzles, PC games and handheld electronic versions.
The game consists of a 'race', woven around a story line about finding the lost king of 'Candy Land'. The board itself is a winding, linear track made of 134 spaces, most of which are red, green, blue, yellow, orange or violet.
The remaining few spaces are locations such as 'Candy Cane Forest' and 'Gum Drop Mountain', with characters including 'King Candy', 'Queen Frostine' and 'Gramma Nutt'.

The Princess And The Frog Review

Disney’s 2D animated musicals never wore out their welcome. Some studio buffoon just figured that maybe kids didn’t want singing in their animated films any more. And then that studio buffoon decided that because 3D animated films were succeeding and a recent string of 2D films had flopped that no one wanted hand-drawn animated movies any more. This is why the last Disney 2D animated musical was Mulan in 1998. 11 years later and Disney, with the support of Pixar chief John Lasseter, has brought back hand-drawn musical movies with The Princess and the Frog. But this isn’t a return of Disney animation; it’s a rebirth.
Set in 1920s New Orleans and playing on the fairy tale of the princess kissing a frog to turn him into a prince, the film centers on Tiana (Anika Noni Rose) who doesn’t have time for princes or frogs or kisses

Amy Adams Curious About Baby's Sex But Not Because of Nursery

Being pregnant with her first child which is due in spring 2010 with her actor fiance Darren Le Gallo, Amy Adams stated that she's about to learn the baby's sex. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight (Et) which was aired on December 7, the "Enchanted" star said that the reason why she wants to know the baby's sex is simply because she is just curious.
Amy shared to Et on why she is so dying to know the child's gender, explaining "It's not about planning a nursery, it's more about I just want to know. I want to be able to relate in that way." She added, "That's what works for me, but I totally believe in whatever works for the individual."
Moreover, Amy stated that she actually wants to wait to know the baby's sex, but she is too "impatient" about it. The Rose Lorkowski in "Sunshine Cleaning" said, "We will probably find out.

Pregnant Amy Adams Won’t Enter John Hillcoat’s The Promised Land; Plus Comments on Enchanted Sequel and The Fighter

During our Afm coverage, we premiered the promo poster for The Promised Land (formerly The Wettest Country in the World), the next film from director John Hillcoat and writer Nick Cave (who previously teamed up to make The Proposition) with Shia Labeouf, Ryan Gosling, and Amy Adams set to star. However, in tiny print at the bottom was the note “credits not contractual”. With that in mind, it looks like Amy Adams won’t be heading to The Promised Land now that she is with child.
During the press junket for her upcoming film Leap Year, Adams said that she just finished David O. Russell’s The Fighter and that she’ll be taking a break from filmmaking until next summer. While it sucks that the highly talented Adams won’t be part of Hillcoat’s killer collaboration, hopefully they’ll find a replacement of equal or greater talent. Unfortunately for The Promised Land,

Amy's 10 Best Days

It should be no surprise at this point that I absolutely adore Amy Adams. Loved her ever-so-brief stint on "The Office," thought she should've won the Oscar for Junebug, thought she should've been nominated for an Oscar for Enchanted and hell, I'm even entertained by this new Leap Year trailer. So any Amy Adams news, regardless of concept, gets a little bit of interest from me. Yet even this might be testing my limits.

Amy Adams' Ten Best Days
18 November 2009 10:58 PM, PST

»
Amy Adams is turning producer on her next project. The breakout star of Junebug, who's since gone on to bowl us over in Julie and Julia, Enchanted and Doubt, is clearly fan enough of Adena Halpern's novel My Ten Best Days that she wants to oversee its journey to the screen. That or she knows a starring role when she sees one.The novel is set in the afterlife: specifically Heaven, which is structured into seven levels, of which the seventh is the most desirable (meaning you can eat what you like and never get fat). Main character Alex wants to stay there with her Uncle Morris and her grandparents, in a perfect house that never needs cleaning, but is in danger of being demoted unless she can provide evidence of having lived a worthwhile life. Hence her homework essay on her ten best days.Now, we're slightly bummed

Ridley Scott’s ‘Monopoly’ Gets A Plot
12 November 2009 8:00 AM, PST

There have been plenty of optioned films over the past few months that don’t make a lot of sense. Peter Berg will be directing a film based on Battleship, Michael Bay is producing Ouija, and Kevin Lima (Enchanted) is directing Candy Land. One other that has struck a “huh?” chord more than others is Ridley Scott’s directing of a movie based on the game Monopoly.
Scott, who is best known for directing such epic (and not family-oriented) films as Alien, Blade Runner and Gladiator, was supposedly sold on the film during a pitch meeting with Universal and producer Frank Beddor (There’s Something About Mary). In an interview with the La Times, Beddor goes into detail on the pitch that got Ridley Scott so interested.
“I created a comedic, lovable loser who lives in Manhattan and works at a real estate company and he’s not very good

Richard Kelly is the man. Not just because he'll be here all this week, posting as a guest editor for MTV Movies Blog. It helps, sure, but we're talking about the guy who made "Donnie Darko" here. And "Southland Tales." Isn't that enough? Not for Kelly it isn't. His latest brain-twisting tale, "The Box," hits theaters on November 6. And he has a dynamite week of content planned for y'all, so sit back and enjoy!

Prince Marsden
Most people know James Marsden as Cyclops from the "X-Men" movies. This is obviously his most high profile role, and it certainly brought him a lot of great opportunities. But the bummer about playing Cyclops is that the audience can’t see your eyes.
There is only so much you can do with a role in which the windows to the soul remain covered for the duration of the film.

Someday Her Prince Will Succumb

Remember that awesome Disney Princes gallery? The one where the underexploited toon men were suddenly objectified? Here's what you might consider a subversive counterpart. Jeffrey Thomas has imagined Disney's heavily marketed Princesses -- not all of them actual royals but amply exploited by Disney all the same -- exploring their darkest sides.
It didn't take much twisting to make Belle fierce. She was always formidable, y'know. And then there's Alice (Don't judge! Who wouldn't go criminally insane in Wonderland?). Thomas' gallery, which Loyal K*N*G pointed me too, also includes Cinderella in a rotting pumpkin, Mulan looking fierce, Pocahontas on the hunt (clean that knife girl!) and Tarzan's Jane wearing a cheetah (no not "Cheetah" dear god, not that). See the whole thing.
By the way, if you loved that eroticized Prince gallery that I told you about early last year, you should know that artist David Kwaena has expanded the gallery.

Concept Art Time: Rapunzel

If any of you remember the part in Enchanted where the character Gisele (played by Amy Adams) sings ‘That’s How You Know’, there is one part where she appears on stage singing with a little girl in the middle of a Rapunzel play.
Yes, that was an easter egg of sorts for Disney’s next animated feature after The Princess and the Frog called Rapunzel. Making their way down the princess line, it was inevitable that Walt Disney Pictures would go to this classic fairy tale of sorts. While everyone is completely in awe over the possible rise back to Disney’s golden age with Princess & the Frog, and completely taken away by Pixar’s Toy Story 1-3 making its way into theaters between October to June of next year, Rapunzel is going almost completely unnoticed. Well that’s where I come in, showing off the concept art of

Well the 2009 summer movie season is over for Hasbro and it has been financially successful. Transformers 2 has milked the entire world economy of over $800 million dollars, while G.I. Joe managed to drain the globe of $100 million this past weekend. So what does that mean for Hasbro their future releases?
Well Steve “Frosty” Weintraub over at Collider managed to catch Brian Goldner, President and C.E.O of Hasbro, before a special screening of G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra and got some interesting answers about a few upcoming projects: Stretch Armstrong, Candy Land, Battleship and Monopoly.
.
Stretch Armstrong
First up is Stretch Armstrong, the toy no one played with (seriously do you know anyone that owned one when you were a kid?). According to Goldner, Stretch will be the first movie released out of the lot, with a planned release of 2011. Now I know what you are thinking,
